C14 Wolfhound's Ambition
Yan Rou walked out of the main entrance of the county magistrate court, looking up at the bright starry sky and remaining silent. After a long time, he let out a long sigh and mounted on his horse, bringing his guards back to the west side of the city.
Soon, the news of Yan Rou's return spread to Xianyu Fu, who was drinking. He laughed proudly, "Haha, it seems like Yan Rou is really sensible. He really did do what I told him to do!"
Xianyu Yin put down the bottle of wine and asked puzzledly: "Big brother, are you wrong? If Yan Rou had followed your instructions, she would have come to pay you a visit! "
Xianyu Fu shook his head, "No, if he comes here, I will kill him immediately!"
"Why is that?" Xianyu Yin was confused.
"Yan Rou is a schemer and a great martial artist. This kind of person … hehe …" Xianyu Fu shook his head and sighed. "Such a character has his own pride. It's not something we can control. Only a hero like King Liu can subdue him! Yan Rou's heart was filled with resentment. Not only did she look down on me, she also hated me to the bones. If he were to lower his head to pay his respects, wouldn't that mean that he had ulterior motives?
"So that's how it is!" Xianyu Yin was suddenly enlightened, he patted his head and sighed: "Big Brother sure lives up to reading so many books, thoroughly learning all the twists and turns of the Chinese people. Damn Han people, they only know how to play tricks! Hehe, Yan Rou, how dare you look down on us? "One day, I will make him beg for mercy!"
"Don't look down on the sinuous curves of the Han Chinese!" Xianyu Fu frowned and said seriously, "The Chinese are good at using tactics and are good at forging all kinds of excellent weapons, but we only know how to fight them head-on. How can we be their match? It was only with much difficulty that the two of us managed to gain Liu Yu's trust. Now that we sat down in our current positions, we didn't fail to live up to King Qiu Liju's expectations. It was a pity that the King's eyes were somewhat sharp! After all, King Tanshihuai is a peerless hero, and I have only produced one of them so far! "
Tan Shihuai was the most powerful leader in the history of the Fresh Subordinate Tribe. More than ten years ago, he unified all the tribes and established a royal court in the Po Han Mountain, leading a strong cavalry army and fighting everywhere, pursuing Tie Le to the North Sea (Lake Baikal), fighting the east so that Fu Yu did not dare to take a step out of the Liaodong Peninsula, defeating the powerful Wu Sun in the west, and shrinking the west of Western Regions to a point where he did not dare to enter. He had led hundreds of thousands of men to attack the various counties and counties that were plundering the Great Han Dynasty's Great Wall. Emperor Huan was extremely afraid, and even begged them to be conferred the title of King and send out their princesses for marriage, but was rejected by Tan Shihuai. Instead, he became even more overbearing and took over several counties and counties of Great Han Dynasty. At that time, when the Han people heard Tan Shihuai's name, their expressions changed. His name was enough to stop children from crying at night! If not for the fact that he died early and the internal strife that arose after his death, the Xianbei People would have died a long time ago.
Nowadays, the fresh and low state of the body is not rejuvenated, and has long been no longer the same as when Tan Shihuai reigned. However, every time a strong tribe king appeared, he would try his best to restore the glory of the Xianbei People. The current King Wu Huan, Qiu Liju, was also the same.
This time, Gongsun Zan and Liu Yu waged a war in the Youzhou, causing Qiu Liju to be overjoyed. When the news of Liu Yujun's defeat and capture spread, Qiu Liju was ecstatic. He personally led 40,000 elite cavalry s to the Great Wall, and once Liu Yu died, he would order Xianyu Fu to incite Liu He to attack the Ji County.
Unexpectedly, Gongsun Xu appeared out of nowhere and saved Liu Yu. Not only did he break Qiu Liju's wishful thinking, but he also let him steal a chicken to counter it: 40,000 people wandered north of the Great Wall for seven or eight days and lost a lot of money and grain for nothing.
The Xianbei People's tribes were very loose and were very restricted by the King of the Tribes. Other than Qiu Liju's men, the other tribes did not have any obligation to fight with him. There were no Chinese villages to the north of the Great Wall, and Qiu Liju could not rob his own tribe on the spot.
Forty thousand people brought back their troops without any success. The leaders of the small tribes inevitably had some rumors going around, and Qiu Liju became even angrier after hearing about them. In the past few days, he had been looking for an opportunity to save face, but he did not expect that the opportunity would come soon: Yesterday, when the spy who had infiltrated the Ji County sent news to him, Marquis Gongsun Xu would personally go to Changli to discuss with Liu He. Qiu Liju was quick to come up with a plan, and immediately led his troops to the south again.
Qiu Liju didn't mobilize his troops as he was afraid of provoking ridicule from others if something went wrong, and this time, he didn't need too many people to scheme against him. Therefore, he only brought the five thousand cavalrymen from the headquarters south, and under the cover of night, they stealthily avoided Xiangping County, and went to hide in the dense forest near the river near Changli County. They would wait for Tan Mucong, who had already entered the city, to receive the news before making any plans.
At the end of the night, other than the main gate and the few lanterns under the porch that were still lit, the rest of Changli County was pitch black.
In a restaurant on the second floor hundreds of steps away, Xianyu Fu looked at the few soldiers who were walking back and forth in front of the courthouse with doubt in his heart. Gongsun Xu and Yan Rou had not done anything after their discussion. Could it be that Yan Rou recklessly told him the truth? It shouldn't be possible! If Yan Rou had done that, she would definitely have tried to make things difficult for him. How could she possibly have returned home in a fit of rage?
"Big brother, should we send someone to test it out?" Xianyu Yin, who was on the side, couldn't help but speak up.
Xianyu Fu nodded: "Alright. Let Lian Rou'er try it out. "
Lian Ke was the person with the strongest martial strength under Xianyu Fu. This person was able to kill a bull with a single punch and could also walk on the walls as though it was flat ground. He was an extremely good assassin candidate.
Xianyu Yin walked to the stairs and ordered Lian Qi'er, who was standing there. Dressed in a night attire, Lian Rong'er jumped out of the window, ran along the street corner for a while, and quickly disappeared behind the fence on the side of the county magistrate court.
After the time it took to eat a meal, the courthouse was suddenly filled with shouts of war. Dozens of lanterns and torches were lit up at the same time, brightening up both inside and outside the courthouse. The two hundred cavalrymen stationed in the nearby houses also rushed out and surrounded the county magistrate from all directions.
Xianyu Yin was overjoyed. "Could it be that Lian Rou has succeeded?"
"Hopefully …" Before Xianyu Fu could say 'this', he suddenly saw a black shadow leap out of the wall and stumble towards them.
Xianyu Yin said in a low voice, "It's Lian Gui'er! He seems to be injured! "
"Thief, don't go!" "Look at the arrows!" Suddenly, a loud roar came from the door, and a man wearing silver armor and a silver mask jumped out. He nocked an arrow on his bow and shot it towards the vital parts of Qi'er's back!
Weng
"Whiz!"
The long, dull sound and the sharp sound of breaking through the air were enough to show just how powerful that bow was.
This arrow was shot at the perfect time, just at the moment that Lian Rou's right foot was about to catch up with her. Under the bright splendor of the moon and stars, a black line whistled through the air and arrived instantly. It fiercely entered the left side of Lian Rou's heart! Immediately after, the arrow shot out and stuck itself into the door of a small store in front of him with a loud sound. The tip of the arrow was still shaking, and drops of blood slowly dripped down from the soft feathers.
Lian Gui'er looked at the bloody hole on her left chest in disbelief. She madly spat out a few mouthfuls of blood before collapsing to the ground dead.
"Hiss!" Xianyu Fu and Xianyu Yin sucked in a breath of cold air at the same time. No one would be able to dodge this arrow! How strong was that bow? Six or seven? Or the legendary nine stones?
Xianyu Fu asked with uncertainty, "This person is Gongsun Xu's follower, Zhao Yun?"
"That's him!" Xianyu Yin's mouth was wide open in shock and his heart was full of lingering fear. Previously, when he provoked Gongsun Xu, Zhao Yun had stood out to attack him. Luckily, he was stopped by Xianyu Fu. Otherwise, even if he were to fight with such a powerful general, a few heads wouldn't be enough for him to chop off!
The silver-armored man turned around and shouted into the county magistrate, "Young Marquis, the assassins have been executed."
"Very good!" Someone inside answered and instructed, "Zi Long, take a few men with you to the military camp to prevent any riots that the soldiers might not know about. Master Liu He and I will be in charge here.
"Here!" Zhao Yun agreed and went into the gate to bring out a white horse. After waiting for seven or eight people to come out with the horse, they all ran towards the barracks in the northeast part of the city.
Xianyu Yin suppressed his heartbeat and asked softly, "Brother, should we send someone to attack the county magistrate court?"
"No way!" Xianyu Fu decisively shook his head. After a moment of thought, he frowned and said, "At this moment, they are under strict security and cannot act rashly. Wait and see. Send a message to Tan Mucong, tell him to stay calm and not to activate it ahead of time. "
"Alright, I'll have someone send the message now." Xianyu Yin hurried downstairs.
Xianyu Fu stared at the county magistrate who had gradually quietened down. He frowned and whispered, "Something doesn't seem right. Where is the problem?"
The commotion over at the magistrate court was quite loud, and the military camp could clearly hear it. By the time Zhao Yun and his men arrived at the barracks, groups of soldiers had already gathered on the field and were discussing among themselves. When they saw Zhao Yun's group arrive, they all looked over.
Zhao Yun stopped outside the main entrance of the camp and shouted to the soldiers on duty at the archer tower behind the gate, "I am Academy Officer and Zhao Yun, I have come to pass down the order of the young marquis, quickly open the camp door!"
The camp door quickly opened. Zhao Yun lifted the mask on his face and steered his horse inside. As soon as he entered, he was surrounded and questioned by a group of people.
"Lord Commander, what happened at the county magistrate court?"
"Lord Commander, are the Marquis and Young Master Liu alright?"
"Lord Commander, did someone betray us? "As long as the young duke says so, we'll all help him kill the traitors!"
Zhao Yun jumped off the horse and patiently answered them one by one.
